Hormonal treatment of transsexual teenagers is controversial. Whereas,
in the UK, teens must experience full pubertal body changes before any
medical intervention, usually at 16, in some countries, including the
US, Canada, the Netherlands, Australia, Belgium, Germany and Norway,
the earliest signs of puberty are blocked and then cross-sex hormones
administered.
